Pretty sick. 690HP & 704ft/lb.

And that's just a tune. Sheesh.

Awesome

Very nice!

Kleemann at it again! Nice numbers

Renntech tune " With a tune only, the 2012 CLS63 made 669 horsepower and 734 ft-lbs of torque (569.13 horsepower and 624.94 ft/lbs of torque at the wheels). "

Wow Kleemann outdid in hp

Yacht Master

Well I am impressed, this new 5.5 will be a tough act to follow.

pullejo

Yep. Typically the other way around as Kleemann is usually more conservative.

That tells me Renntech may have more room.

BlownV8

For some reason, I think the Renntech will be quicker. Just sayin'.

Exactly what I was thinking!

I don't put much faith in tuners' peak crank hp and torque #'s. I prefer to see before and after dynos which provide much more tangible information.

i keep telling myself only 1-2 years - come on AMG depreciation - i want a 700hp wagon!

Vic55

Different dyno, diff day, conditions, and different marketing LOL- I dont take too much stock in whats higher. I take stock in the faster more powerful car at the strip. So far RT has tangible proof in my eyes.


Agree Tom... lets see the K car vs. the RT car in the real world.

I guess I know what I am getting next just need to wait on a used one

Matters not son - - - just look at the 1/4 mi et's to date. These cars will be in the 9's very soon. 800 BHP is readily attainable. If Porsche can make 600 BHP from 3.6 liters out of the box . . . well you do the math.

TMC M5

Is that your way of trying to tell me that you are my long-lost daddy? I am not sure what to make of your post....are you agreeing that tuners' crank hp claims mean very little?

Actually 1/4 mile ETs are not optimal to ascertain power...ETs are more of a function of traction off the line. I would say 1/4 mile trap speeds are more indicative of power. You rarely ever see tuners mention 1/4 mile trap speed...I was responding to people comparing RENNtech hp claims vs Kleemann hp claims. As I said before, the crank #'s thrown around mean very little to me...I would rather see before and after dynos. Would I prefer to see 1/4 mile trap speeds out in the real world too, yes...but like I said you don't see many tuners taking the cars directly out on the track...they usually have their customers post the results.

kleemann is one of the longest standing and most reputable mb tuners out there. unlike most companies, if they make a claim i'm a believer!

CharlyE500

RT tune for all kind of cars, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Ferrari....... but Kleemann tune only Mercedes thats why I chose K for my car.

TMC M5

I agree that Kleemann is very reputable. I had a Kleemann ECU tune on my CL65. The first tune didn't bring the results that were expected. But Corey was able to put a second tune that got things to where they should be. My point is that if I didn't actually test the car, I would not have known that it was not putting down the claimed power. Too many times people just accept that whatever claim a tuner makes is gospel. I am always a little skeptical of any clam since every car is different and sometimes things need to be tweaked on a car by car basis...even by the most reputable of tuners.

My comment speaks for itself.

alextaylor29

Me as well! Seeing how you can get a nice used CLS55 for $35K - $40K now (2006) in a few years time this will be mine as well.

Really, really like the CLS body style...they basically nailed it.

TMC M5

I guess it does...too bad it had nothing to do with my post or this topic...

MB of San Diego has the E63TT now.

Anybody else notice the big price difference? RT $3495 K ~ $1500. Hmmm, what do you get for the extra $2k? Maybe it comes with lube

_AMG_

Its crazy how much power you can extract out of these engines with just a tune.
